The signature moment
The team is read by the hour, not by the face
The rota is the team page's second view of the same people: days down the side, early, day and evening across the top, and each cell a short stack of first names. Reading down a column shows every evening Daniel works; reading along a row shows who is in on a Tuesday. A heavier rule under the sittings and hairlines between the days make it a printed rota, not a table of data. The grid states a column count, so its four columns keep their row on a phone, the names stacking inside each cell.

Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives
Overview
Who is in, and when, for a clinic, salon or practice where the customer books a person rather than a slot. A label, a display heading and a short introduction sit over a ruled grid of six days by three sittings, with the first names of whoever is working in each cell, then a note and a button. It sits in the team section beside team-small-business, which says who the people are; this one says when you can see them.

What it inherits from your theme
- Typeface. The base states no font family.
- Palette. Your

What it decides for itself

The Mend look
Part of the Mend Pattern Set, one physiotherapy clinic's whole site in one design language: clinical white ground #f7faf9, deep teal-navy ink #12303a, muted ink #4a6068, sage #3d6e5c labels, mint #e6f0ec cards on #d3dfdb hairlines, and apricot #f2a65a as the one warm mark in the section, a fill or a rule and never text on the white ground. Avenir Next throughout, headings 600 and display 500; buttons teal with 6px corners. Every text pair is measured on the ground it is painted on. Take the base for your theme's colours, or the look's Use my theme chip.
Notes
- Core blocks only: group, heading, paragraph, buttons, button. No plugin, nothing to keep updated.
- The root group sets headings and links to
currentColor, so every heading, paragraph and link inherits the group's text colour in any theme; only role-bearing text (labels, rules) carries its own chain.
Questions
Clinician week rota: common questions
Does Clinician week rota need a plugin?
No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (button, buttons, group, heading and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install.
Will Clinician week rota match my theme?
Choose by variation. Rota grid takes your theme’s palette; Mend brings its own colours.
How many variations does Clinician week rota have?
2: Rota grid and Mend. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy.
Is Clinician week rota free?
It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 56 Core Patterns are free to copy without one.
Which WordPress version does it need?
Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type.
The markup
Core block markup and nothing else. Copy it, then paste it straight into the block editor: WordPress reads the delimiters and rebuilds the blocks.
